This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 16th day of August, 1929, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [5673].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mr. L. B. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Dr. Kaplan, Mrs. Miller, and Mrs. [5673].

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5673]. Now, we find there are those conditions as produce disturbances with the physical functioning of the system. These conditions, through an analysis, might be termed wholly suppression mentally to the extent that physical conditions resulted from same. These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [5673] we are speaking of, present in this room. First:
2. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, here we find evidences of disturbances in the eliminations. Not through those so much of the channels as are ordinarily termed those of the alimentary, but rather that of the system where drosses and suppressions may be relieved. The system also finds that the reaction through the capillary circulation becomes poor. Hence that condition as exists where the body will have cold extremities, or flushes of hot or cold, and a low pulsation. Not to detrimentalization in itself alone, but rather the indications of the disturbances as are manifested in the blood stream, in the character of the blood itself, and the manner of its circulation, either in capillary - as the circulation of same, or pulsation in extremities, or the over fullness of a hepatic circulation.
3. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, OR SYSTEMS, HERE we find the greater cause for disturbances in this body. While there are existent physical conditions, the body suffers under the strain of nerve energy USED, yet CONTROLLED much by will and force from within self. Hence a suppression. This, we find, INDICATED in the characterization of the coordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal nerve system, especially as is indicated in the regions where depressions cause such conditions as to produce in the regular normal functioning of cycle of functioning of organs, disturbances as are seen in the organs of the pelvis, or menstrual period disturbance, or those of the disturbances as are seen in the character and the manner of the activity of the kidneys themselves. These NOT organic conditions; rather functional disturbance, through that activity of incentiveness - as indicated from the condition existent in nerve plexus along the system, and the reaction same produces in the body. These centers then indicated are those of the 4th lumbar and of the 9th dorsal and 5th dorsal. These centers from which radiation of impulse to functioning of organs, cause distress through the inability of the organs so acting to follow the impulse as should be from the incentives' reflection, as should be produces in a normal condition.
4. IN THE FUNCTIONING OF ORGANS, brain forces good.
5. The organs of the sensory system, or eye, ear, nose and throat - these, as seen, show at times the effect of that condition as is produced in the blood stream, or a form of anemia; yet this is NOT, as yet, so overactive as to cause distress, save at times. Bronchials, throat and lungs very good. Heart's action itself, at times fast and at others slow. A result of the condition in the blood supply, and overtaxation as is seen through that of the nerve system itself, becoming over sympathetic, and the reaction of same is seen in the activity of the heart itself.
6. Digestive organs - here again we find reflexes of the conditions as are existent in those plexus and centers as are seen in the cerebro-spinal. These come more direct from the cerebro-spinal plexus than from the sympathetic; while the functioning of the organs of the pelvis and false pelvis come more from the SYMPATHETIC reaction, or suppressions in the system.
7. Now, to meet the needs of the conditions of this body, first we would create that vibration in the system as will aid the nerve system to bring about a better coordination between the sympathetic and cerebro-spinal, so that the reflex from nerve energy or plexus will produce nearer a normal functioning of the organs so affected; as is seen in menses, as is seen in digestion, as is seen in blood creative energy. These we would find first in these properties: To 4 ounces of simple syrup, add:

   Tincture Valerian..................1/2 ounce,
Elixir Calisaya......................1 ounce,
10% solution Bromide Potassium......20 minims,
10% solution Iodide of Potassium...1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Capsici..................2 minims.

   Shake solution together before the dose is taken. The dose should be half a teaspoonful, either plain or in water, 3 times each day, at least half an hour before the meals.
8. We would also add those vibrations, FOLLOWING a gentle massage - either osteopathically or neuropathically given, follow such massage, which should be given at least once each week, with those of the sinusoidal ray. Those that give first of the medium current, placing the pad near the 5th dorsal plexus and the negative pad near the 4th lumbar plexus. Not over 3 minutes to begin with for such treatments. This, as we see, will relieve those conditions existent in the nerve system, as cause disturbances with the functioning organs; relieving from the blood supply those surcharges or drosses as cause irritation in the mucus producing portions of the system at various times. Will aid the digestion, also the eliminations, as are necessary for the body to replenish or build in the reserve energy. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What causes the dysmenorrhea?
   (A) Those conditions that have just been described, as are suppressions in the system - that affect the organs in their functioning.
10. (Q) What causes the eruption on the face at times.
    (A) Condition of the blood supply, as has just been given - as comes from that of the sympathetics in their reaction in capillary circulation. The system attempting to adjust itself, and to produce eliminations so that drosses as are carried out of the system may be eliminated. These brought back to a normal coordination in the system, will relieve the body of these distresses. Do that. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 5/30/29 She obtained Life Reading 5673-1 which verified her fitness as a nurse at the Cayce Hospital.
2. 8/16/29 She submitted questions in re dysmenorrhea and face eruption.

REPORTS

1. 6/36 GD's note: Mrs. [5673] had for some time been trying to adjust herself to a broken marriage; she apparently had loved her husband but their ideals were so different that she could not adjust to his way of life, or did not feel it was right to do so. This may be the "suppression" the reading was referring to. After following the treatment her physical condition was greatly improved.
2. 10/30/40 She remarried and this time it lasted.
3. 8/02/60 Letter: "I wish you and the A.R.E. members success in the research work."
4. 12/19/72 She died in a hospital, leaving only her husband and two nieces as survivors.
